The Umatei Sushi Restaurant in Permas Jaya is another nice Japanese restaurant in Johor Bahru.

I imagine many diners are from Straits View Condo and the Renaissance hotel. It is also right next store to my favorite books store (in fact I am on my way there an hour after I post this): Treasures and Books Store, Used English Language Books (though the bookstore is moving next month).

Deep Fried Garlic – if you haven’t tried it, I recommend giving it a try

I have eaten here several times and enjoy it, though I must say I prefer Gianni’s most days.
